I have both of the knives shown below thier both folders and carry one of them as a pocket knife. They are Puma Damascus knives they run about $60 to $70 dollars each and the do hold a good edge. ![[Linked Image]](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a336/W7ACT/PUMAFolder2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a336/W7ACT/PUMAFolder1.jpg)

That is the exact same knife I found on Amazon at about 40% off list before Christmas. Annie I have that exact same Ingram and love it! In fact, I bought it right from the classifieds on the Fire. David

This is what I'm carrying right now, 4" closed, nice locking one hander. A little bulky for a pocket knife but i like it so far. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/102_5509.jpg) Dammit I really like that case slimlock though... Blend of both worlds, classy, slim for pocket carry, 3.5" closed length, one hand operation... This is all your fault Miss Lynn!!

Oh, and call me spoiled or whatever, but I only use a knife to cut with. If more tool is required, I usually have the resources handy to use the right tool. A knife is the most expensive and least effective prybar you will ever own. Flamesuit on and ready.  And most women need to be reminded from time to time that a knife is not a screwdriver.

Some people tend to lose pocket knives with alarming regularity. I somehow manage to avoid that problem, but I still view a pocket knife as a tool that may be misplaced, so I don't put the proper amount of investment into it. My standard daily knife is an Imperial jacknife that the NRA sent me a number of years ago. Sometimes I carry a one-blade Buck lockback. They have both served me very well. I appreciate and care for them, but I do not bow down and worship them at designated times during the day.
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Not exact same though I'm thinking, mine is engraved with my name and my handle is made of purpleheart. ![[Linked Image]](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b144/cavscoutmom/Ingram/bday3.jpg)

Mz Lynn , google " mooremaker" knives in Matador Tx . I think you will find what you are looking for . I've been carrying one since shortly after they came out in 1985 .
Very practical knives that also increase in value over time if it is kept new .For very little more than a Case or other mass produced knife you get a heirloom quality knife .
And [ this is why I started using them ] they make a high-quality CARBON steel pocketknife .
And they make 'em in Matador Tx !!!
Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place

Pretty hard to beat a Stockman pattern (3 bladed), round bolsters for everyday carry, of 3 inches length, slightly more or less. Grip/handle width slim for dress wear, wider for field use. The better steel always a good investment, if money not a problem. Quality stainless of good repute, if everyday carry also. Name and date engraving also a good idea. If he has it years from now, and doesn't get stolen or lost, it will warm his heart to know he has something from Mom in his possesion daily, and will want to remember the year Mom gave it to him. Beware the bells and whistles and the salemanship. You want functional quality that is made to last. Find someone who knows steel and about who made the knife to shop with you, if you are not savy. Lot of junk out there. Also, advise him to never loan it out of sight. You would be surprised how easy it is for out of sight to disappear. Hence the engraved name,  .
